Why Robert Mueller should not release his report in one piece?

Because, Donald Trump has programmed his followers to discount as "fake news" whatever may be in the report. All of his work and all of his facts will be for naught.

That is why he needs a different strategy to inform the people about what happened and who was involved?

In my opinion, the Special Counsel should release his report one bit at a time, over a matter of several days.

The first day will be discounted and discredited by Donald Trump and his supporters.

The second day will be called "more of the same".

The third day will be mostly ignored.

The fourth day will show a pattern that might get a second look by the non-believers.

The fifth day could be a very serious charge and could possibly warrant serious consideration.

On the sixth day, the evidence will be too overwhelming to ignore.

And on the seventh day, he could rest his case.

We know that Trump and his supporters plan on discrediting whatever Mueller may report. If he dumps it all in one report, it will be much easier for them to discredit and ignore.

But, if he gives them the medicine over a number of days, they will not be able to continue saying that it is "fake news" and, hopefully, the facts will register with most of the American people, regardless of the propaganda against them.

Just my opinion.

All at once they attack it all. Bit by bit, wears them down w the inevitable truth. Start w something low-ball (SOON) and let them squirm and scream...then unload the heavy stuff.

Is that not correct?

The other "reports" will be in the form of indictments if criminal wrong doings were done by others than trump as what we have seen so far

In your post you give the Magats credit for having a soul, sanity, literacy and an understanding about how our Constitution and other laws work and that they should be applied to all of us equally.

You're a very gracious person. That is not snark. You are a better person than I am.

I don't believe people that support what's going on right now are as "human" as the people that find it reprehensible. But as you stated, that's just my opinion.

The drip, drip method will only give Don the Con the opportunity to fire Mueller. Mueller knows that. This special circumstance demands critical mass. To hell with Don the con’s deplorables. They will call it “fake news” regardless of how it is released.

I think he might be - maybe for the likes of Jared, Junior and Princess - but knows whenever they're made public his fate is sealed.

Mr. Mueller is more than capable of making the decisions necessary to the investigation and the release of information.
